Kendrick Lamar closed out the South American segment of his Grand National Tour with a headline-grabbing live show in Santiago Chile on October seventh his performance at Estadio Monumental drew huge crowds and was widely declared unforgettable both for the setlist which included hit tracks like HUMBLE DNA and Alright and for the intensity of the crowd reaction said The Vagabond Creator on YouTube Social media lit up with video clips and fans raving about what they called one of the boldest hip hop experiences of the year Meanwhile he was also seen enjoying some downtime soaking up the U20 World Cup Argentina versus Nigeria match from a suite in Santiago a rare public sighting offstage captured by fans and reported by HotNewHipHop Following the Chile concert Kendrick made a brief appearance with his GNX tour dancers and that image circulated quickly on fan accounts on Threads underscoring his typically low-key but charismatic presence
Despite his tour successes Kendrick remained virtually silent on social media a point noted by The Udy Sound on Threads who remarked that both he and Beyonce manage to dominate headlines and attract both praise and vitriol even in near-total digital quiet He has not given interviews or posted directly in recent days sticking to his established pattern of privacy and controlled public access
News broke late last week that a federal judge dismissed Drake’s defamation lawsuit targeting Universal Music Group over the lyrics in Kendrick’s Not Like Us which alleged harm to Drake’s reputation After the ruling the Associated Press noted the judge called the track part of the most infamous rap battle in history highlighting the case’s cultural importance Even though Kendrick was not directly involved in the litigation this moment solidified the legacy of Not Like Us as a defining work in hip hop’s ongoing narrative
Fans also noticed his absence at the MTV Video Music Awards where despite ten nominations and a year of accolades Kendrick skipped the event entirely reporting from Yahoo Entertainment says he won just a solitary prize for Best Cinematography and kept to his characteristically elusive public mode reinforcing the sense that he is focused on his artistry over celebrity
Looking forward the tour will pick up again in Australia later this year but speculation continues about whether Kendrick will release new music soon or maintain the deliberate pacing that has frustrated and fascinated his fanbase Kendrick’s style and recent actions suggest he is fully aware of his biographical significance and is carefully scripting the next chapter
